Finding Maddy

CHAPTER 8

Cecelia.

Turns out she is still alive. I don’t really know why I came to the hospital. As I walk up to her room, I see she is awake and alone. I can’t help myself from going in.

“So, you made it through huh?”

She peers at me with a stupid, confused look on her face. “who are you?”

“come on", I reply as I roll my eyes. Wait, what if this is real? Huh, I can have some fun. “you really don’t remember me? We went to school together. We were best friends. I am Dom's girlfriend. Well, I was. You made us break up so you could be together. You promised that it would only be for a short time. You threatened to hurt yourself if he didn’t give you a chance.” I keep up this sob story. Talking about lost love and how hard it has all been. “It’s been really hard, not being together. But your safety was important to me. Even though you did this to us, you were still my important friend. I Just hope that someday you can let him go. I miss him, terribly.” I give a sad smile and watch as her face pales. She is actually buying this crap? This is just some storyline of a dodgy soap my mum watches. Maybe I should be an actress. “I am sorry to spring this on you, considering what you have been through. I just wanted to see if you were ok. And then it all just... spilled out. I should leave you alone. I hope I haven’t hurt your feelings. “

As I walk away, I can’t stop the smile from spreading across my face. I can’t wait to watch the show.
